Dear Bernard,

I was a pupil at Halliford School in the early seventies and you were my history teacher. Just to thank you for the pleasure my son has had from your books most of which he has read.
Best wishes

Mr. Cornwell, I would like to thank you for writing so many books that have made my free time so enjoyable!  I'm a big fan of Uhtred and Thomas of Hookton, and your writing style is captivating.  I'm about to start the Sharpe Series, and look forward to more from you.  Best wishes from Chicago, and if you are ever visiting here I'd love to buy you a pint!

Mr. Cornwell,

I just wanted to say that I recently discovered you (past 2 months).  My father lent me "The Fort", and it was absolutely incredible.  I have since read 2 of the Saxon novels (out of order, because at first I did not know "Sword Song" was part of a series, but since have read "The Last Kingdom") and just started reading both "The Patriot" and "The Pale Horseman", and just completed the 1st 3 Starbuck books.  Your books are absolutely awesome, and I am begging you, finish the Starbuck Chronicles.  I know that you probably have heard this often over the years, but I dread when I come to an end of a good series, always wanting more, and to know that I am about to end a series midstream is awful. His story is too good to ignore.  Thankfully, you have a number of other books for me to read (my father says Stonehenge was fantastic), but please don't leave the story unfinished.

Dear Bernard,

Interested to see your background as I am ex-RCAF and RAF, The only subjects I liked (and was any good at in school) were history, latin and english. I have long been a fan of "historical fiction"; Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, Sam Barone and many others. But, I have to say you are the King of them all; I feel like I was there with Sharp, Thomas, Uhtred, Derfel - and the rest of your "heroes". It is hard with your books to tell where fiction begins, and truth ends - and vice-versa. You write so very well, gripping stories - and the only complaint I have is that I am despondent to finish any of your books.

It is quite inadequate to say thanks for all the enjoyment your wonderful books have made for me. All of them - and I have read  every one, mostly on Kindle.

Best regards,

You make me proud to be a Cornwell. I have read all of your books and I love every single book. Thank you for being terrific.  Hello from all Cornwells in America!

Hi Bernard,
I am hoping that there is more Saxon Stories as I just can't get to read enough of these type of historical and fictional novels. I have read all your books except the Sharpe series which will take me a while to get through.

Hello Mr Cornwell,
I have a great interest in the development of the USA since the days of the first settlers and an especial interest in the Civil War.  I have read many accounts (and visited the sites) of Antietam but your 'novel', for me, has put flesh and blood and life into the characters (real or imaginary).  It provides what no historical account to date has managed - real feelings.  Many thanks indeed.

Regards,

Hello Mr Cornwell, I have collected every book you have written and thoroughly enjoyed them all.  I would love to see the Arthur collection transformed into a movie or a mini series like the Sharpe books.  For me your description of Arthur and the time in which he lived is the most realistic and believable I have ever read.  I think there was an Arthur character and that he was not king because as you say in the books he who commands the spears has the real power.  Please excuse my typing as I am just being trained up by my 13 year old son!  I look forward to every new book that you write.  The story of Arthur has been done so many times but I think after the success of the Sharpe novels/series your retelling of the legend of Arthur and the heroic and loyal Derfel would be a breath of fresh air and put some of these limp (for want of a better word) versions to shame.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Just finished..'Death of Kings'... Brilliant...The Uhtred stories would make a great TV series or film franchise...if they would stick to your storyline.  Many many thanks.

Bernard,  thanks for the plesurable reading over the years.I started reading  the Sharpe books on a wet weeked in the Lake District with the family many years ago and I am an avid fan who anticipates with great pleasure any new book from yourself. I have just started re-reading the Sharpe books again and still get sucked into the story straight away. My two boys are avid readers of your works. Keep up the stirling work.
Thanks again for such enjoyment.
